Bio
Hello everyone! I’m Moran Guo, a current ScM student studying biostatistics at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. I graduated from University of Rochester with a B.S. in Biological Sciences: Computational Biology (Magna Cum Laude) and minors in Mathematics & Japanese. I studied protein coevolution, protein folding, and utilized AlphaFold & Bayesian Graphic Model to investigate correlated mutations during my last two years of my undergraduate. Moving forward, I’m willing to explore all possibilities in the field of biostatistics. I particularly found causal inference and Bayesian methods interesting.
Outside of academics, I’m also a huge fan to rock climbing (with a bouldering focus) & fitness. Actually – I was recovering from a moderate to severe ankle sprain because of it :( Besides that, I also enjoyed pop Japanese culture, electronic music and watching tennis. In the near future, I might consider playing squash or golf (or both).

I practice bouldering 4 times a week @ Movement
Hampden. If you are also into
climbing,
we could climb together! (I need some
time to recover from my sprained ankle, so maybe in two
weeks.)
